The latest research that was conducted at 2:00 A.M. (IST) on 19th Oct'2008 in the humble premises of the guinea pig (erstwhile Random Guy) proved that incessant sneezing can ignite the vesicular muscle of right lobe of the brain and thus transform you from a random guy to a deep thinking philosopher who thinks randomly and fleetingly.
Suffering from cold and fever, lying in my bed, i was wondering what could be the reason behind my insatiable need of money. Just a couple of years ago...i was surviving on INR 5,000 a month from my parents, and that too with the lifestyle of a lavish spender. (my friends will prove the claim, in case you doubt). Here I am, earning a lot more than that (being a banker, u can expect me to account for 12% + inflation in last few months)...and still money is that fleeting entity which is easy to come and damn easy to go. I am not anymore the most extravagant guy of my social circle. A few nights back, i found myself doing a mental calculation and dividing the pub's bill by number of guys at the table, to my utter irritation. That lefts me wondering, is it possible that the more money you get...the cheaper disposition you attain?
Indeed a scary thought. A normal course of thought suggests, increasing means should lead to a positively correlated power to splurge. Isn't it? Sadly results indicate differently, at least in my case. I think i am getting stingy. Is this is what it means to get rich? Is this equated to getting mature? Saving for future? My ass!!
If this is the take away of getting better-off in life...i am happier with a pocket money of INR 5,000 a month (no matter how much the $-Rs. value has depreciated). I don't want that next promotion, I am no more inclined towards that lucrative project. I am happier getting my student life back. I am craving for that simplicity, a life so different from a calculator, who just divides the money spent by the number of friends.
The Simplicity Rest In Peace...
As the complexity of Division rules the heart...!!
